Vortex Generators are fitted on both sides of the base of the Fin, on Tornado Aircraft, to generate a turbulence, so that the Rudder has an effect at altitude, otherwise the Rudder is flying in a vacuum, and has no effect on the stability of the aircraft, causing judder, with possible buckling of the spine to occur.

How do you stop the 747 aircraft after landing?
